The porch area was a perfect spot to sit back, relax, and take in the scenery. We enjoyed our wine flight, especially the sparkling peach wine!

We arrived at the winery, I left Howie In The car so I could go to the bathroom and ask what the process is if I have a dog with me. They said once they see me on the patio with my dog they'd bring a menu and a bowl of water. They did not disappoint! They even had a treat for Howie. They were very accommodating, and even offered to bring me samples. I never felt forgotten about! They were able to bring their iPad to me to finish paying. Overall a great experience as a solo traveler with a dog. Thanks for the accompdation! We were also able to walk around the grounds, the ambiance was perfect for a Monday afternoon!

A perfect stop between Traverse City and Mackinaw City, this charming, cozy, epicenter of hospitality has so much to offer. The market has a fun selection of locally-curated items to its own homemade pies, soups, salad, and in-season produce. The Tasting Room is a comfy spot, appointed with more tchotckes, nibbles, a fireplace, and an array of respectable wines and ciders to try. You can stroll around the grounds, see the scenic views, and relax over a flight of unique and tasty beverages. Most definitely a must-visit stop!

Everything we tried in our flight was delicious and we ended up with bottles of everything to bring home. My personal favorites were of course the hard red but also the cheeky cherry, which is a sweet cherry wine and the botanical which is a semi sweet pear tasting cider. Service is always friendly and accommodating. On our way out, we visited the farm shop and picked up some cheeses and a apple cider donut for the road. Cheers!

The place is very family friendly and I really appreciated that they had a changing table in the bathroom and a playground outside (and toys inside like blocks)! The outside is beautiful with a little lake and views of the vineyard. However, we were not impressed with the wine at all. It was sub par. I really wanted a sweet wine and the one we got was not sweet enough. The other wines we tried in the flight, were also meh. And this is just a personal dislike but it was a 90 degree day and it was so hot inside (she offered to turn on the AC and even turned the fans on but she said it would take awhile to cool down. I was surprised the AC wasn't on already and there wasn't that much of a breeze to make outside enjoyable).
